Background

Roger was born in Hamilton and grew up in Christchurch. After spending five years in England, he returned to New Zealand in 2016. He graduated from the University of Canterbury with a Bachelor of Laws in November 2023 and completed his professional studies in April 2024. Before joining us, Roger worked as a Law Clerk at MJS Legal, focusing on family litigation. He's now taken the next step in his career by relocating from Christchurch to Gisborne to join our litigation team.

Interests

In his spare time, Roger enjoys baking (especially shortbread!), playing tennis, and exploring Gisborne. He also loves spending time with his cat, Fern. His main area of practice is criminal law, and he has a strong interest in family law and immigration and refugee law. 

Roger has hit the ground running, diving into community life and has already been elected Chair of the Gisborne Volunteer Centre—quite an achievement after just a few weeks!
